About this map

Lake Coleman dominates the southeastern quadrant of this West Texas landscape, serving as a primary hydrological focal point where the waters of Jim Ned Creek and Rough Creek converge. The terrain is defined by a series of water management projects, including the Hudson Lake Dam and several structures managed by the Soil Conservation Service, such as the Soil Conservation Service Site 12f and its associated reservoir. These dams and sites illustrate the region's 20th-century approach to flood control and water storage in the arid Callahan County environment.

Moving north and west from the lake, the map traces the winding paths of McEwen Draw and Clear Creek, which cut through a network of rural county roads including Co RD 213 and Co RD 247. The presence of smaller features like Long Hollow and the South Fork Jim Ned Creek suggests a complex drainage system that feeds into the larger reservoir. This 2010 survey provides a detailed view of the infrastructure and natural watercourses before significant modern development altered the rural character of the area.
